An iconic pub named after American novelist Ernest Hemingway in Ukraine’s second-largest city of Kharkiv was destroyed by Russian shelling on Monday.
Old Hem, founded in 2012, was a popular pub for young creative minds in the city. Patrons had to walk past a statue of the author to enter the pub, which was adorned with portraits of writers such as Charles Bukowski, Mark Twain and Sergei Dovlatov along its walls.
